I thought there was no left in this country?
- ACA Death Panels
- Mexican children carrying an African virus
- ISIS/ISIL/Whatever crossing the American border to kill us all with bio warfare!!!shift+1!!!!

ACA death panels was Sarah Palin and I believe the last 2 were from the same person but I will give you the benefit of the doubt here. That means you are labeling the entire GOP by the opinions of 3 people.

Why do you have a problem with that? This is the message of the GOP today. This is why your party will slowly lose more and more as time moves on...

\shall we have more talk of impeachment and shutting down the government?

Don't you know conservatives have a brain defect? These threads have to be posted... obama pokes his head in once a week while playing golf and fundraising... so there really is not too much else going on in the world.

Because a few people do not define a party.

Left and Liberal are not the same thing, other than than from a right fringe perspective.

ACA death panels was Sarah Palin and I believe the last 2 were from the same person but I will give you the benefit of the doubt here. That means you are labeling the entire GOP by the opinions of 3 people.

Google ISIS Mexico or ebola Mexico, notice how many right wing outlets trumpet the "news".

Sheesh. It was very much the same wrt death panels for the 2010 election, as well.

You see that ancient guy with the left turn signal stuck on in the fast lane doing twenty under the limit in a rusty beater Oldsmobile with a dragging muffler, belching forth copious quantities of blue smoke? See him yelling, honking his horn and shaking his fist at people who are passing him, telling them to slow down?

That's the Republican party of today and boy are they proud of it!

No one "lashed out" at you. I questioned the motives behind what I see as a pattern of behavior from you, moonie, and lunar ray. You want to turn that into a personal attack, you want to be a victim, to further "prove" that conservatives are mean people. Honestly, the three of you are so closely knit that it would be easy to believe that you're the same person.

I believe they are simply the last 3 people who still watch CNN no matter how much their ratings plummet lol.

Get off my lawn!!

About thirty-four years ago I could have come over and pissed on your lawn! I used to live on the north side of Syracuse (on Wolf Street) and worked in Mattydale. Shit Lake (Onondaga Lake) was quite the sight to behold...lol!

Republicans are too married to their religious base. I imagine that is hurting them and will continue to erode their numbers as time goes on. If they try and make a shift in some more popular major policy changes, then their christian base will likely not be happy. If John Boehner comes out tomorrow and says Republicans now officially endorse gay marriage, what happens?

I think their policies pander to an ever decreasing number of people. Just look at some of the righty posters here, I imagine they do more harm for their party than good, spouting off some of the ridiculous bs they do.
If they didn't have their religious base they would lose roughly 75% of their voters. They make up the bulk of the people stupid enough to vote against their own self-interest because they think God will judge the country because abortions and gays. The other 25% just don't understand modern economics.

Gotta love all this brain defect talk, in another thread a person that clearly leans left was accused of having a CBD and called an idiot because he was applying critical thinking to a situation and not getting onboard with the liberal sheep mentality.
link?

That is simply not true.

One of the points of being a conservative republican is you follow the law. If the law says slow traffic stay right, then you drive in the right lane.

Liberals on the other hand say my car my choice.

Actually I think liberals say:

Law they agree with: Its the law BITCHES!!!!!!

Law they disagree with: OMG you are violating my human rights.

Good old 'no true scotsman' fallacy.

GOP is a party of family values. Part of those family values are respect for one another, respect for parents and elder, respect for the law. The end goal of the GOP is order, respect and dignity.

Liberals on the other hand have no respect for anything. The end goal is liberalism is chaos.
